Deva

A deva is a kind of angel, a celestial being
With wings of feathers and a face of beauty
They serve the forces of good and fight the evil ones
They have three orders: astral, monadic, and movanic

Each with different powers and personalities
But all with the same devotion and loyalty
A deva is not a daeva, a Zoroastrian fiend
Who opposes the truth and the righteous creed

Nor is it a deva, a Hindu or Buddhist god
Who lives in heavenly realms but is still flawed
A deva is a creature of fantasy and lore
Inspired by many myths but not the same as before

A deva is a poem, a song, a story, a dream
A symbol of hope and grace and light supreme
They are the allies of heroes and the foes of villains
They are the guardians of order and the champions of freedom.
